The Greater Dallas Choral Society for children and youth (GDCS) is the premier choral ensemble for singers in grades 4–12 throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. GDCS was founded in 2022 to carry forward the legacy and mission of the Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas, 1997–2022, which is to give children and youth an experience in choral artistry in a group that reflects the diversity of the Dallas Metroplex.
In its first three seasons under the name GDCS, the chorus has been named official children’s chorus of The Dallas Opera, collaborated with Dallas area arts groups, and performed in beautiful venues throughout the city. The 2025–2026 season boasts collaborations with The Dallas Opera, the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra, performances at the Meyerson Symphony Center, and the joy of children and youth creating beauty with their voices. GDCS has three children’s choruses for singers in grades 4–8, and two high school choruses for singers in grades 9–12.
The Ensembles Program of GDCS is a tuition based organization of choruses that meets on Monday nights during the school year. Tuition assistance is available for singers based on financial need.
Our mission is to give children and youth an experience in choral artistry in a group that reflects the diversity of greater Dallas.
